About

MCA Denver was founded in 1996 by philanthropist Sue Cannon, along with Marina Graves, Mark Sink, Dale Chisman, Lawrence Argent, and others, with the mission to celebrate the art of our time in the heart of Denver. Together with many generations of her family, Cannon provided invaluable and ongoing support for the museum over multiple decades. Her vision for what MCA Denver could be, her commitment to ensuring that it achieved that vision, and her impact on civic life through her broad support of artists from across the region are but a few of the details of her astounding legacy. For seven years, MCA Denver occupied a renovated fish market in Sakura Square in downtown Denver, until 2003, when Mark Falcone and Ellen Bruss, members of MCA Denver’s Board of Trustees, donated a gift of land in Denver’s Central Platte Valley in order to realize the organization’s goal of building a permanent home for contemporary art in Denver.
